Hardcover vs Paperback 56

Anything can look perfect on paper. When her fiancé calls off their wedding at the last minute, Waverly Bryson wonders if her life will ever turn out the way she thought it would...or should. Her high-powered job in sports PR? Not so perfect. Her relationship with her dad? Far from it. Her perfect marriage? Enough said. To keep sane, Waverly makes a habit of jotting down "Honey Notes," her own brand of self-deprecating wisdom and a pipe-dream for a line of greeting cards.

As Waverly stumbles back into the dating scene (no stalkers or jean shorts, please), her personal and professional lives threaten to collide. Perfect on Paper reminds us that everyone has a bad date (or twelve), and that everyone eventually needs a best friend to tell them, “Honey, you are not alone.”

Perfect On Paper was one of my favorite books I read in 2008 so when I heard the book was being re-released by Amazon I was very excited, it's going to get into the hands of more people! Anyways, I was very excited to see what they did with the cover and now I know!

I never really had a feeling towards the original cover I just read the book and fell in love with the story but I do like what they did with the new Amazon edition. I think it keeps the spirit of the original cover but does it up a bit more. I'm glad they didn't slap a person on the cover, then it would have looked like everything else out there!

Hardcover or Paperback?

Thanks to Book Chic who showed me the new Perfect on Paper reissue cover!

This was one of the first books I reviewed for my blog so I have a special bond with it! I too LOVE the new Amazon paperback cover. It's bright and colorful and does a bit more justice than the bland (sorry!) original cover.
